If you are new to couponing, you might not be aware of when items are at their rock bottom prices. It takes time to develop a working knowledge of when to stock up on an item. Last we spoke about price books and their benefits. Now we are going to use those prices to analyze what the lowest price was for an item over time. Every store differs a little, so it is best you perform your own analysis after a couple of weeks of price entries into your price book. Here is an average from all the stores I shop at, but this does not mean that I have not seen the price go lower.

In no way am I finished with my list, this just what I have compiled so far. This is the average between all the stores I shop at. I have paid less than I stated in many instances, but I wanted to list the maximum price I would pay at any given time. These prices are achieved by combining clearance sales, sales cycles and coupons; when all used correctly you can cut your shopping budget in half.

Use this only as a guide. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment.
